Gold up in Asia

Gold edged up for a second session on Thursday as the dollar weakened after minutes of the Federal Reserve's recent policy meet gave no indication of when US interest rates will rise. Markets were also waiting to see if India, the world's No 2 gold consumer after China, would ease a record high import duty on the precious metal at the fiscal budget on Thursday. Spot gold rose 0.1 percent to $1,327.40 an ounce by 0646 GMT, after gaining 0.5 percent in the previous session, aided by the dollar that hit a one-week low against a basket of major currencies.
